GTA 6 is one of the most anticipated media projects in history, but while we're expecting it in 2025, a new report has suggested that may be too soon - meaning a delay could be on the cards

Leading games industry journalist Jason Schreier has admitted he’d be “shocked” if GTA 6 actually hits its 2025 release target.

Bloomberg’s Jason Schreier has recently made a statement that “GTA 6 will likely slip to 2026, as Rockstar is known for delaying their titles with game development becoming more complicated.”

Other publishers are worried about adding release dates to titles in 2025 for fear that Grand Theft Auto 6 will release close to it, leaving titles up in the air

Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive still hasn't revealed the GTA 6 release date, and other publishers are reportedly refusing to commit to 2025 until they know they can avoid it. Anonymous sources familiar with publisher deliberations told Bloomberg that the anticipation for Rockstar Games' next big title is so high that it's causing ramifications for the rest of the video game industry.

According to a report, publishers aren't willing to commit to Fall 2025 release dates until GTA 6 is confirmed.
